  • @TheEsotericDesi You and your culture will loose.

  • I hope Turks aren't preaching him the wrong history about their own nation... Just like they preach it to their own kids 24/7 in schools... :-P

  • OMG... It's a Christian Church converted to Mosque... and they call it a "Religious Museum"? :-\

  • everyone who say they love obama, are really scared of obama.

  • @baywatchrules12 did you ever see dead things can live?

  • @bigsexsy sen malmısın ne müslümanı beyninizi siktiklerim ya

  • Long live Byzantine!!!!!!!!!!

  • hüseyin obama müslim elhamdülillah inşallah!

  • After the conquest of Istanbul, Ayasofya became a Turkish religious center, so they were justified in plastering over the mosaics - you cannot interfere with that. Besides, the building was not destabilized unlike you claim - the building became more sound and survived to our date and many earthquakes - thanks to the Turkish restorations.

    Stop being racist and jealous.

  • Yes you are corect about the restoration but u must add that most the restorations actualy stuffed the building even more. Also to add is the fact that all the beautiful mosaic tiles were either hacked with chisels, marble blocks with stunning depictions were ripped out even to the point of destabilizing the building. After a while they just simply re plastered over all the masterpeices of artwork on the walls. Yes I know what kind of restoration the Turks did when they were not plundering.
